Befriending Guild Care's Creating Connections offers befriending services for people who find it difficult to leave their homes to socialise and meet people. We offer telephone befriending, and a home visiting service with regular visits by a volunteer, to provide companionship and friendship. We also offer short term, goal-based befriending to provide more 1:1 support to people. This is available to people who have lost confidence after a fall or have poor mobility and need help to socialise, make friends, and engage with their local community.
